What is genetic counseling?

Genetic counseling helps you understand how genes, birth defects and medical problems are transmitted in families, and how they affect the health of your family. Genetic counseling offers information and support to people who have or may be at risk for genetic disorders. Doctors and genetic counselors will meet with you to discuss genetic risks. The consultation may be about you or a relative, or when you think or plan to have a baby. By selecting the most appropriate treatments based on genetics, we prevent adverse risks, we gain success in pharmacological therapies and many more advantages.

What is a Genetic Counselor?

Genetic counselors are health professionals with degrees of expertise and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling. Genetic counselors providing education and support to individuals and families at risk or diagnosed with a variety of hereditary conditions. Genetic counselors also interpret genetic testing, provide supportive counseling, and serve as advocates for patients.

What is a geneticist?

Scientist who has specialized in the study of genes and inheritance (the passage of genetic information from parents to children). A medical geneticist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders or genetic conditions. Genetic counselors also advise individuals and families at risk of certain genetic disorders or cancers or make decisions about their pregnancy and the care of their baby.

What is counseling for high-risk pregnancies?

If you are planning a pregnancy you can find out if there are inherited problems that affect the health of the future baby. You may turn to genetic counseling if certain health conditions in your family are inherited or if prenatal testing shows your baby is at risk for health problems. A genetic counselor can help you understand test results so you can make decisions about your pregnancy and the care of your baby.

What is a test for hereditary breast cancer?

Breast cancer is the most frequent tumor in women, accounting for between 20% and 30% of all cancers, being the leading cause of cancer death in European women. The age of onset is above 50 years, although from 5% to 10% is diagnosed in women under 35 years. Most of the hereditary cases of breast cancer are related to two genes that present abnormalities: BRCA1 (breast cancer gene 1) and BRCA2 (breast cancer gene 2). There is genetic testing available to determine if someone has anomalies of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes and determine the cancer risk they have. A more complete trial includes the study of other genes, such as ATM, CDH1, CHEK2, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, PTEN, RAD50, RAD51C or TP53 that are also involved in breast cancer.

What is a whole exome sequencing test?

The exons contain the functionally important coding regions of the human genome. Whole exome sequencing selectively selects these portions of the genome and has proven to be efficient and an extremely cost effective method of identifying DNA variants. In contrast to traditional Sanger sequencing tests that analyze a single gene or a small group of genes at a time, whole exome sequencing has the ability to simultaneously analyze 22,000 genes and can help identify variants that may be the genetic cause of a wide range of features and conditions.

What is a whole genome sequencing test?

Human genome sequencing is a laboratory process that determines the complete sequence of DNA in the genome of a human. This involves the sequencing of all the chromosomes of an organism with DNA, with all the exons and non-coding parts of each gene, as well as the content in that of mitochondria. The test costs 5 times more than one whole exome sequencing test.
